Session III

Presented by: Priscilla Tait MS, CNM, IMH-E® (IV)

One of the most difficult challenges when working with families during pregnancy and early childhood is providing services to parents who are chemically dependent. In this workshop we will discuss the variety of substances that are used and abused during and after pregnancy. We will explore how and why women become addicted, the barriers to recovery faced by chemically dependent women, and how our own attitudes and beliefs about mothers, babies and drugs can influence the choices that mothers make.
